B. Who Are The Sons of God?

B. Who Are The Sons of God? In beginning, we need to recognize who are called "sons of God," as Verse Two begins with.
Angels, good and wicked, are called Sons of God by creation (Colossians 1:1; Ezekiel 28:15). All angels are men; and now disembodied spirit beings (Psalms 104:4).
Christians are called Sons of God by regeneration. (John 1:12)
3. Jesus Christ is called the Son of God by relationship. In Deuteronomy 33:27, God is the Eternal God. In Matthew 6:9 which states, "Our Father (God) which are in heaven." NOTE: If a man has been a father for 10 years; then, he has had to have a son for 10 years. Since God is the Eternal Father; Christ is the Eternal Son.
In Genesis 6:2, the "sons of God" are the wicked angels, now disembodied, and identified in Scripture as "demons, seducing spirits, etc." (1 Timothy 4:1) They can indwell lost people; but not Christians. They can even control the minds of the lost, and speak through their vocal chords and mouths.
For example: Read Mark 5:1-15 and Mark 9:16-26 carefully. You hear today of people being treated by psychiatrists for speaking with multiple voices. This is nothing more than demon possession. The only cure is for them to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior; not a bottle of pills, or the phony faith healers! When a person trusts Jesus Christ as their Savior, the Holy Spirit takes up residence in the Christian (Ephesians 1:13; 1 Corinthians 6:19); and the demons are expelled forever! In Mark 16:9, Christ had cast seven demons out of Mary Magdalene.
Enoch had warned the ungodly about the future judgment of God years before Noah came on the scene; as he died 69 years before Noah was born. Notice in Jude 1:14-15...
"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, (Jude 1:14)
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him." (Jude 1:15)
In Genesis 5:22, we are told that Enoch "walked with God" the last 300 years of his life. His warning did no good, as their eyes they closed and their ears they stopped from hearing (Matthew 13:15). We have the same people today; only the names have been changed.
As we examine the genealogies, dates and ages of people, we find that Noah was 600 years old when the flood came. (Genesis 7:11) He was born 69 years after Enoch died. He warned the ungodly for 120 years prior to the flood, that it was God's judgment.
"And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years." (Genesis 6:3)
Therefore, Noah, at 480 years old warned the wicked for 120 years that God's judgment of the flood would take place and destroy them all. After God's long-suffering and the warning from Enoch and Noah, God took sight of every human being and records His findings in Genesis 6:5...
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
